Anticipating that 68k binaries will be long in coming, I've started building my own again. I threw out all my old 1.6 and 2.1 binaries and started over from scratch. Grab them if you're interested. If you have any special requests, post them in this thread - no promises though.

Thanks for this - may have to try NetBSD again!

Thanks for this - may have to try NetBSD again! If so, check the recent archives of the port-mac68k list. A fellow named John Klos built 68040-optimized versions of the entire base system. That's what I'm running on my Q840. That said, the package binaries I build do not have any particular optimization so they should work on any 68k NetBSD.

Good to know. Thanks for the heads up. 😎

Very Cool.... have ta try this out on my SE/30...
Your running on a Q840AV? I thought NetBSD had issues with the 840...?

Your running on a Q840AV? I thought NetBSD had issues with the 840...? SCSI is slow on the AV machines (slow enough that I may put /usr/pkgsrc on NFS to get a speedup!), but other than that it's dependable. I acquired the 840 before I realized that issue; now I wish it were a 800.

Eh, i'm trying to install pkgsrc on my Quadra 700. I just threw the tar.gz at the MacBSD Installer program, and it looks like it'll take some 30 hours to unwrap it - does that sound right?

Boot into NetBSD and just use tar -xvzf on it. Heck, unpack it elsewhere and suck it across your LAN, even that would be faster.

Grab them 404
As to special request - pretty much anything MIDI and audio related 😀

Yeah, found that out. Tried untarring it inside NetBSD - I ran out of disk space quite quickly, though. Don't you suppose you know how much space it's supposed to take up?

Don't you suppose you know how much space it's supposed to take up? The contents of an unzipped tar.Z or tar.gz takes (give or take) the same size as the uncompressed/gunzipped tar file itself.
There are other alternatives such as
(a) put tgz files on a CD
( B) put tgz files on anther disk
© read tgz files through ssh from another machine
(d) read tgz files from a nfs volume

explains where Michael Zucca tried to get 840AV working faster,
I wonder if he actually got sync working but did not know that on a wide variety of scsi errors, sync is lost and you need to monitor and restore sync mode?
But without a SCSI card its still only 4 times faster than a mac plus if all is perfect :

Technically, Apple claims 6 MB sec is possible on 840AV though

Fixed URL. Is there a specific package you cannot find in the official pkgsrc binaries? A bulk build was done for m68k recently so there's not as much incentive now unless there are specific needs.
Tried untarring it inside NetBSD - I ran out of disk space quite quickly, though. Don't you suppose you know how much space it's supposed to take up? You probably want a 1GB disk to be able to have space for it and still do anything else.

Yeah, it's going on an external IDE disk with a ->SCSI converter... Might even speed things up a little...
